“He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

So back on October 5, DOJ charged Jim Comey via information for information about a FISA story that Jim Baker tried to correct. They didn't get an indictment before the statute of limitations expired. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“Ken Paxton is counting on you being too busy. Greg Abbott is counting on you being too tired. Dan Patrick is counting on you thinking your vote doesn’t matter in Texas. Prove all three of them wrong. Get your ass to the polls.”

Just received a letter from DFT. He is taking credit for a $90 “gift” to help with the cost of Medicare. Next year my Part D deductible goes up $85, my out-of-pocket maximum goes up by $300, and my part B premium continues to rise. I donated his “gift” to James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa. Go Blue.

This is explosive. In the Witkoff/Kushner discussions with the Kremlin with respect to the sale to a Trump-backed consortium of LUKoil's foreign assets, Trump has offered a slice of his big Alaska project to a Russian major close to Putin. The structure is designed to entangle US investments

The allegations in the Jared story have a known true core, which was exposed in the (failed) Tom Barrack prosecution none of you know about. The prosecution was a referral from Mueller, but Barr tried to sabotage it, as he did all other referrals in summer 2019. emptywheel.net/2026/10/23/j...

From Ramaswamy to Paxton to Marshall, what's the magic thread that links the highest profile GOP campaigns? A deep tie to Jeffrey Epstein. The Dems plan to drive that point home in the final week. www.washingtonsun.com/campaigns/de...

The Somali guy hopping on the school bus to save the children even as Stephen Miller wants to denaturalize and deport him is a metaphor for our time.

Remember Tricia McLaughlin, the pathological liar who repeatedly slandered people assaulted by ICE? Yoho is her spouse.

The Rooster@rooster.info

All roads lead to Ramaswamy's chief strategist, Jai Chabria, and Strategy Group CEO Ben Yoho as the mastermind of the ad. Spokeswoman Connie Luck, who should probably already be in prison, should also never work in politics again for trying to cast doubt on Acton's well-documented trauma.

WELKER: Do you believe Democrats should impeach President Trump should they take back the House? WARNOCK: Listen, Donald Trump is a crook. And he's gotta go. And the people who are enabling him, they all have to be held accountable.
